He has also stated on more than one occasion that he thinks Sharp is a good man. Need to give both sides before accusing Stags of shit like that.
I don't think that's a big accusation.

Did he not previously hand out leaflets for 3P? Has he not whined constantly (urgent fan forum lol) almost since the Board election result was declared?

How many quotes of his do you want me to drag up in support of my point? Here's his previous one in this thread.
Possibly no coach
No football club CEO
No leagues club CEO
No media liaison
No major sponsor
5 man board..

Nah!i think we're doing alright actually.. Lets get pissed

Jason Taylor has taken two sides (eels/Souths) from pretty poor positions to a semi final berth.

He has history in working with juniors to get them into the nrl - he worked under smith at the eels when our junior system was pretty good, he started the generation change at Souths by promoting juniors , coaching at the roosters (including being in charge of the u20) who have just rebuilt their side with a lot of juniors.

He has history with our two biggest stars, sandow/Hayne - he gave both of them their debuts.

No never handed leaflets out for either side, I've actually had more conversations this year with the parrafirst mob than I had with the 3P guys... So I'm looking forward to your apology later sunshine.

We know Taylor is a dud because the Chooks brought in an outsider untested in the NRL rather than promoting Taylor, who was already at the club.

I don't want anyone that has previously been involved with the club. I'd like Henry I reckon he would be a good coach for us. Also the cowboys players respect him a lot and I reckon some could look to get out if henry gets another NRL gig

No not necessarily - Robinson was assistant to smith during the roosters great run in 2010. It was reported in some papers the players gave Robinsin a lot of credit for 2010. Then he had to go to the super league to further career as it didnt look like smith was going any where - so Robinson was far from an outsider. In fact he was a roosters assistant coach before Taylor.

Taylor has had to just keep his head down and work hard to fix his reputation which was unfairly tarnished from that mad Monday incident.

His reputation is f**ked. Just like Nathan Brown.

Not after this year and more so if the roosters remain seriously contenders for the next few years. He is already being given credit by Robinson for there good form. It will only be a matter of time before he is mentioned as a coaching option whenever there is a vacancy for a head coach

He is already being mentioned. But while fans and media judge on one set of standards, players consider themselves to be elite, and hold a different (and probably unfair) set of standards.

If Taylor has a reputation amongst NRL players for being a c**k then he's no good to anyone as a head coach.

No qualms about an apology re not handing out 3P leaflets Stags, here it is. I'm sorry.

You've got to admit that you were a fairly ardent 3P supporter though, or am I wrong about that as well?

well if the players are picking the coaches expect Ricky to promote Allgood to captain for next year by the end of the week. Should enhance RS reputation for a Canberra gig as well.

so we need a coach who is a nice bloke, i.e kearney?

They don't have to be a nice bloke but they do have to be respected.

and f**k what the players think, none of them are bigger than the club.

I'm not saying the players wouldn't do what Taylor told them to do but their morale and confidence might drop, if they didn't believe in the coach. It would also hurt recruitment and retention.
